wet wood chemistry

I put three spoon blanks in the sink to soak and they made the water green! One walnut, one cherry, one maple. Cold water, soaking for 2 days. Here are some pictures to attempt to show you.
I do not know how it ended up green, as I have boiled and soaked these woods before. I don't think I ever put all three together, though. I wish I knew more about what is going on here.

It must be the yellowolin reacting with the blueatine. It makes green.

That was a really good joke.
